Had to stop after a minute and having counted at least a half dozen blatant double yellow cross-overs in a turn. That kind of riding runs oncoming riders off the road.

where is the video? I seen 1 video with the old car moving out.

To do it in 5 min, the video would have to be chopped or sped up. 10 minutes is insanely fast and only a few folks on sport bikes are even capable of that.

I knew I wasn't high! LOL

 

[moloko]

yeah, I broke it... =/ can't find an edit button either??

Yeah, it was sped up.. alot.

 

[Acehole]

I once saw a video of a guy on a yellow Goldwing run the dragon in 11+ mins. it's on youtube. I would post the link but I am at work now. They block everything.

That would be Yellow Wolf....and he is fast. Many a sportbike has met its demise trying to keep up with that dude. I believe he also ran the dragon for 24 hrs with only stops for fuel.

Now I gotta be honest my first comment was how often he was blindly into on coming traffic. I even went back a minute later and "deleted" it while I thought up a more eloquent/more forgiving way of saying it but it needs said. Blindly crossing in a corner is the same as blindly pulling into cross traffic and I am so glad that video didn't end up grizzly proof.

On the other hand, great reworking / sound track I did like the video. I am also happy your father-in-law got to enjoy riding here! Amazing place to be on two wheels

But really have a friendly chat about the ??? riding

Yeah, Thats why I pulled it.

I don't think the line crossing is a fantastic idea either. I don't agree, yet knowing the guy I'm not gonna 'bash' on 'em either. Also didn't want that to become what this thread was all about. I understand the concern... Just thought the run looked kinda cool in hyper time.

No your right, should be about a cool video of an awesome day of riding.

Friendly reminder nothing more
